Let daughter's age= d
mother's age=m
papa's age=p

note, d=m/2 and p= m+5

d+m+p=100
therefore, m/2+m+(m+5)=100yrs
5m/2=95yrs
m=38yrs.
d=38/2=19yrs.
p=38+5=43yrs.

Let the Mother's age be x

so Gir's age will be x/2

and Father's age will be (x + 5 )

add up everything and equate it to 100

we have,

(x/2) + x + (x+5) = 100

multiply through by 2 to remove the fraction

we have

x + 2x + 2x + 10 = 200

collect like terms
5x + 10 = 200
5x = 190

x = 190/5

x=38 which is for Mother

there half of 38 which is 19 is for daughter's age

and x +5 =Father's age
38+5 =43
43 is Father's age

(dog plus cat) minus (dog plus rabbit) is 24 minus 20;
This will give:
Dog plus cat minus dog minus rabbit (removing bracket) as 4;
Positive dog takes out minus dog leaving
Positive cat minus rabbit as 4;

We know:
Cat plus rabbit is ten; so
(cat plus rabbit) plus (cat minus rabbit) will be ten plus 4;
Thus, removing the bracket will leave us with:
Cat plus cat plus rabbit minus rabbit as fourteen;
2cat is fourteen;
Cat is fourteen divided by two which will give 7;


....making dog(seventeen) and rabbit(3);
.....giving a combined weight of 27;


In so many words... Lol
